Inheritance of Judah

¹Ke kaloku iqashiso lwesizwe soonyana bakaYuda, ngokwemizalwane yabo, lasinga emdeni wakwaEdom, entlango yeTsin ngasezantsi, ekupheleni komzantsi."

²Umda wabo wasezantsi wathabathela ekupheleni koLwandle lweTyuwa, encamini ebheka ezantsi."

³Waphuma, wasinga ngezantsi ekunyukeni kweAkrabhim, wegqitha waya eTsin, wenyuka waya ngasezantsi kweKadeshe-bharneha, wegqitha waya eHetseron, wenyuka waya eAdare, wajika waya eKarka;"

⁴wegqitha waya eAtsemon, wema ngomlanjana waseYiputa, ukuma komda wema ngolwandle. Nguwo lowo umda wenu wangasezantsi."

⁵Umda wasempumalanga luLwandle lweTyuwa, use ekupheleni kweYordan. Umda wecala langasentla wathabathela encamini yolwandle, ekupheleni kweYordan;"

⁶wenyuka umda waya eBhete-hogela, wegqitha waya emantla eBhete-arabha, wajika umda waya etyeni likaBhohan unyana kaRubhen."

⁷Wenyuka umda waya eDebhiri, uvela entilini yeAkore, wabheka entla eGiligali, malunga nokunyuka kweAdumin ngasezantsi komlanjana; wegqitha apho waya emanzini ase-En-shemeshe, ukuma kwawo wema nge-En-rogele."

⁸Wenyuka umda ngomfula woonyana bakaHinom, waya egxalabeni lowamaYebhusi ngasezantsi: yiYerusalem ke leyo; wenyuka umda waya encotsheni yentaba ephambi komfula wakwaHinom, ngasentshonalanga, osekuphekeni kwentili yamaRafa ngasentla."

⁹Wahlaba umda, wathabathela encotsheni yentaba, waya emthonjeni wamanzi aseNefetowa, waphuma waya emizini yasentabeni kaEfron, wahlaba waya eBhahala: yiKiriyati-yeharim ke leyo."

¹⁰Wajika umda eBhahala ngasentshonalanga, waya entabeni yakwaSehire, wegqitha waya egxalabeni leHar-yeharim ngasentla: yiKesalon ke leyo; wehla waya eBhete-shemeshe, wegqitha waya eTimna."

¹¹Waphuma umda waya egxalabeni le-Ekron ngasentla, wahlaba umda waya eShikron, wegqitha waya entabeni yeBhahala, wema ngeYabheneli umda waya wema ngolwandle."

¹²Umda wasentshonalanga lulwandle olukhulu nommandla walo. Nguwo lowo umda woonyana bakaYuda ngeenxa zonke, ngokwemizalwane yabo."

¹³UKalebhi unyana kaYefune wamnika isabelo phakathi koonyana bakaYuda, ngokutsho kukaYehova kuYoshuwa: umzi ka-Arbha uyise ka-Anaki ngowaseHebron ke lowo,"

¹⁴Wabagqogqa apho uKalebhi oonyana bobathathu baka-Anaki, uSheshayi noAhiman noTalemayi, inzalo ka-Anaki."

¹⁵Wenyuka khona waya kubemi baseDebhiri; igama leDebhiri laliyiKiriyati-sefere ngenxa engaphambili."

¹⁶Wathi uKalebhi, Othe wayibulala iKiriyati-sefere, wayithimba, ndomnika intombi yam, uAkesa, ibe ngumkakhe."

¹⁷Wayithimba uOteniyeli unyana kaKenazi, umzalwana kaKalebhi; wamnika ke intombi yakhe, uAkesa, yangumkakhe."

¹⁸Kwathi ekuzeni kwayo, yamvuselela ukuba acele umhlaba kuyise wayo; yehla e-esileni layo. Wathi uKalebhi kuyo, Yintoni na?"

¹⁹Yathi, Ndinike into, ngokuba undinike umhlaba ongenamanzi; ndinike nemithombo yamanzi. Wayinika ke imithombo yasentla, nemithombo yasezantsi."
